Address: 85 California Drive
Meeting Date: February 22, 2016
Request: Application for Environmental Scoping, Rezoning, General Plan Amendment, Lot Merger and Lot
Line Adjustment and Commercial Design Review for a new automobile service facility at an existing
automobile dealership.
Applicant: Kent Putnam APN: 029-242-020,-030,-040,-050 & portion of -230
Designer: Alan Cross, Proto Inc. Lot Area: 24,820 SF (0.57 acres) combined
Property Owner: Kent Putnam
General Plan: Commercial Uses: Service & Special Sales Zoning: CAR and R-4
Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan: California Drive Mixed Use District & R-4 Incentive District
Adjacent Development: Automobile sales and service and multifamily residential.
Environmental Scoping: Environmental review is required for this project because it includes a Rezoning and
General Plan Amendment of a portion of a parcel, and therefore does not qualify for an exemption. As a part of
preparing the initial study for the environmental document for this project, staff is requesting that the Planning
Commission comment on any potential environmental effects which it feels should be investigated. Since the
proposed new automobile service facility is less than 10,000 SF in area it qualifies for a CEQA exemption,
therefore the comments and discussion on the environmental review should be limited to the proposed Rezoning
and General Plan Amendment.
The issues identified by the Commission will be incorporated into the initial study for the project. The standard
list of items investigated in an initial study is attached for reference. At this time, staff notes that based on
preliminary analysis, it appears that the type of CEQA document required will be a Negative Declaration.
However, the type of CEQA document will be finalized during the environmental review process.
History: On May 11, 2009 the Planning Commission approved an application for Commercial Design Review for
fa�ade changes to the existing Subaru showroom (see attached May 11, 2009 Planning Commission Minutes).
The project was completed in December, 2010.
Project Summary: The project site is located at the southwest corner of California Drive and Bayswater
Avenue. The project site consists of five separate parcels; four parcels and a portion of a fifth parcel would be
combined into one lot for the proposed project (see attached diagram). The remaining parcel at the corner of
Bayswater Avenue and Highland Avenue would continue to be used for storing new vehicle inventory. The
proposed Iot combination requires applications for Rezoning a portion of a parcel from R-4 (high density
multifamily residential) to CAR (California Drive Auto Row) and a General Plan Amendment (from R-4 Incentive
District to California Drive Mixed Use District).
The site is surrounded by automobile sales and service facilities; there is an existing two-story multifamily
residential building to the south. The project site currently contains a one-story Subaru showroom building, a
one-story Subaru automobile service facility, a Hertz automobile rental office located in the service facility
building and automobile storage for Subaru and Hertz on a paved parking area.
The proposal includes demolishing a small office at the rear of the existing showroom building, the existing
service facility and Hertz rental office and building a new, 9,634 SF automobile service facility for Subaru. The
new service facility would consist of 16 service bays, parts and tool rooms, a service writer office and customer

lounge. The front of the lot would contain an outdoor vehicle display area and customer/employee parking.
During preliminary review Planning staff identified the following applications required for this project:
• Environmental Scoping for Rezoning and General Plan Amendment of a portion of a site;
• Rezoning of a portion of a site from R-4 (high density multifamily residential) to CAR (California Drive
Auto Row);
■ General Plan Amendment of a portion of a site from R-4 Incentive District to California Drive Mixed Use
District;
■ Lot Merger to combine four existing parcels into one parcel (portions of Lots 5 and 6, Block 13) and Lot
Line Adjustment; and
• Commercial Design Review for a new automobile service facility at an existing automobile dealership.
Building Design: The existing Subaru showroom building to be retained contains stucco walls, a slate tile clad
pilaster, an aluminum anodized storefront system, aluminum composite paneling and painted steel and
aluminum trim across the upper portion of the building.
The proposed new automobile service facility requires an application for Commercial Design Review and is
subject to Section 5.0 - Design & Character of the Downtown Specific Plan (see attached). The proposed
service facility building contains prefinished horizontal metal and aluminum composite panel siding, painted steel
and aluminum trim and an aluminum anodized storefront system. Please refer to the proposed building
elevations (sheet A.301) provided by the designer.
As measured from the average top of curb level along California Drive, the proposed building measures 24'-2" in
height and therefore is in compliance with building height regulations (55'-0" maximum allowed; Conditional Use
Permit required for any building exceeding 35'-0"). The proposed ground floor ceiling height is 18'-10" where
15'-0" is the minimum required.
Off-Street Parking: Off-street parking is required for the existing automobile sales showroom and the proposed
automobile service facility. Based on the existing automobile showroom (1,539 SF @ 1:600 SF parking ratio)
and proposed automobile service facility (8,725 SF @ 1:800 SF parking ratio), a total of 14 off-street parking
spaces are required. The proposal complies with the off-street parking requirement by providing a total of 14
parking spaces at the front of the site. The front of the site would also contain a vehicle display area.
Customers will enter the facility off Bayswater Avenue and drive into one of two service drive lanes until greeted
by a service writer. The vehicles would then be driven to the service facility for servicing. Two new curb cuts will
be installed along Bayswater Avenue for the new service facility. The existing curb cut along BayswaterAvenue
near the corner will be reduced in width.
Street Trees: There are no street trees currently existing along California Drive in front of the project property.
As required by the Parks Division, two new 24-inch box street trees (Red Spire) will be planted along California
Drive.
There are seven existing street trees along Bayswater Avenue in front of the project property. Three of the
seven street trees will be removed. The remaining four street trees will be replaced with four Gingko biloba
street trees.

Public Facilities Impact Fees: The purpose of public facilities impact fees is to provide funding for necessary
maintenance and improvements created by development projects. Public facilities impact fees are based on the
uses, the number of dwelling units, and the amount of square footage to be located on the property after
completion of the development project. New development that, through demolition or conversion, will eliminate
existing development is entitled to a fee credit offset if the existing development is a lawful use under this title,
including a nonconforming use.
Based on proposed service facility (9,634 SF) and providing a credit for the existing service facility to be
demolished (2,620 SF), the required Public Facilities Impact Fee for this development project is: $16,130.01 (see
table below). The Public Impact Fees payment will be required at time of building permit issuance.

It1 the commercial areas, there is a consistenc}� ancl cohesion of arclii-
tectural styles. 1�1an�- builciings utilize dassical proportions, and are
enriclied �vitll detailing such as pillsters, �vood detailing, and ernbossed
relief. There are also soine fine modern buildings, which overall are
compatible in scale and detail �vith more historical examples. The
"core" area centered around I3urlinglme and I Ioward rlvenues func-
tions as a defined retail center.
In the residential neighborhoods, �tvles are more variecl. Cohesion
is achieved by compatibilin- in l�uilding scale and massing, along with
consistentl}� lush landscaping.
All buildiiigs �vithiii eadi area of Do�vntown should contribute to tlie
area's identitv as a part of llo�vnto�vn I3urlingame. "I'he core commer-
cial areas centered on I3urlingame and Ho�vard Avcnues sliould have
a lively mis of buildings at different heights and st}�les. Grotmd floor
retail should relate to llowntown's traditioiial storefrotits by� usuig large
displly �vindo�vs, kickplates, and clerestor�- and trinsom windows. In
the California Drive commercial areas, development ma�� be lower in
intensit�� but should contintte to build on the Downto�vn core's classic,
restrained stvling. In the residential areas, ne�v projects should rein-
force tlie Fine-graitied scale and quiet ainenity tliat esists.
The variety of architectural styles is an asset to Downtown, and both
historically� inspired and modern sty�les should be accommodated.
Regardless of architectural style atid approach, new build'uigs should
e�liibit fine-grained, pedestrian-friendly scale and details.
D�SIGN STANDARDS FOR COMMERCIAL AND MIXED
USE AREAS
The commercial areas of Do�vntown Burlingame have historicall}• been
the most active, public places in the community�. New commercial and
mised use buildings should contribute to the existing "Main Street"
cliaracter. They sltould enhance tlie pedestrian nature of Do�vntown,
definin� the street as a public place, with active storefronts, windo�vs,

Commercial and mi�ed use development projects iii tlle Downto�vn
�pecific Plan area are subject to the Cit�� of 13urlingame's Comnrer�zal
I)e�i�vr Guicle%ao,�. In addition, tlie follo�vin� recommendations apply�
specihcallv to Downto�vn development:
5.2.1 PEDESTRIAN USE AND CHARACTER
5.2.1.1 Enirances
Commercial entrances sl�oulcl be recessed frotn tlie E1�1C�(', creating
a small alco��e. 1'his establishes a more definitive sense of entr�� and
affc>rcls an alternative view of inerchanciise in the displat� windows.
I:sisting recessed entries should be retained.
'1'he doors oi a cominercial storeFront t��picall�� contain latge glass
panels with vertical proportions that present n visual connection to
dle streetscape. Storefronts shoiild conunue to ezhibit this pattern,
whether a new project or the re-use of an e�isting space.
5.2.1.2 Ground-Level Corner Uses
[ Iigh activity�-generating uses are especially encouraged at Cl�e
I3urlingame Avenue and I Ioward �lvenue intersections with side
streets. Storc: fa�ades along side streets should be desi�,�ied to lielp
entic� pedestrians onro the side streets. To achieve this, the fa�ades
should include windo�as and continuauon of the architectural details
from tlir main storefront e�tendin� across the sidestseet fa�ade.

on-site parkin� garage should be accessed in a safe, attracti�-e tnanner
and should not signihcantl�� detract from pedestrian flo�v, nor interfere
with the orderly flow of traffic on public streets and �vithin parking
lots. ��'here possible, parking garage access should be from the side
streets or alle��s. In soine cases, �ceess to on-site J�arking could be
pro��ided from city-o�vned parl:ing lots.
FIGURE :i-G: Downtown Burlingame is characterized by relatively
narrow building increments, predominantly 15 to 50 feet in width.
5.2.2.1 Building Scale
"1'ablc 3-2 in Chapter 3 specihes basic building standards such as
setblcks and height. I3e��ond conforming to tlle basic buildin�
mass, new de��elopment should preser��e tl�e rhythtn and fine-
grained pedestrian scale of e�isting buildin�s �vithin the commercial
districts by respecung tlie relatively narrow buildin� increinents,
wlucli t}�pically ratige from 15 feet to no more tlia�i 50 feet in

I3iirlingame, to pcovide a�velcotning retail environinent, and ro
accommociare a r1n�;e of potential uses over the lifeume of the
building, fixst ftoors should iiave a ftoor to finislied ceiling height of
at least 1 S feet.
New dec�elo�ment should also be sensitive to the human scale of
Do�vnto�vn �vith sensitivity to building lleight. Buildings sllould
not over�vl�clm the pedestrian experience on the street ancl should
account for tl�e rclatio�iship bctween building heiglit and street

5.2.3 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CONSISTENCY
5.23.1 Facade Design
'I'o maiiitain the present sc11e and cl�aractex of buildings in
Do�vntown, large uninterrupted expanses of horuontal and vertical
�vall surface should be avoided. I3uilding Fa�ades should respotid to
the relauvely� narrow increments of development (1 � to SO feet) �vith
variation in fenestration, building materials and/or buildin�; planes.
Facades sliould have geiierous reveals sucli as inset door���a��s and
�vindows. Doors, windo�vs, and details should be in keeping «ith
pedestrian scale, as opposed to a rnonumental scale that is out of
proportion to the surrounding contest. Desi�i details should be
authentic and have purpose, rather than being appiied or strictly
decorative. I�acades sliould l�a�-e a variation of botli positive space
(massing) and negative space (plaz;�s, inset door�va��s and windo�vs).
I�acades on both new and rehabilitated buildings should include the
elements that make up a complete storefront including doors, displa��
�vindo�vs, bulkheads, signage areas and awnings. Ne�v buildings need
not cnimic an "liistoric" architectural st��le (and in fact sl�ould a�-oid
imitation that results in caricatures) but shotiild inchide a level of archi-
tectuxal detailing and quality of materials that complements esisting
buildings. ��here older esiting buildings are renovated, preservation of
existing architectural details aiid materials is encouraged.
rven if separate businesses Fu�lction �vitllici the same btulding, the
overall design of the Ea�ade sliould be consistent. Individual busuiesses
should not break the basic lines, material and concept of the fa�ade.
Storcfronts can be demarcated from eacli other witliin the same build-
in� by� subtle variations in tlie colox ar Pattern of surEaces of doors,
tiling, signage or entries. Corner parcels are encouraged to incorporate
feahires suc11 as roundeci �r cut corners, corner entrances, displa�� �vin-
do�vs, cortier roof feahires, �vrap-around a�vnings/o��erhangs, blade
FIGURE 5-13: Even if seParate businesses function within the same building, signs, etc.

Character and richness in Downtown can be enhanced from the incor-
poxation of details and ornamentation into the design of the buildings.
"I'hese elements can include elements that have been traditionall�- used
such as corniccs, brackets or moldings.
5.23.4 Rear and Side Facades
I3ecause the side streets and alleys in Do�vntown arc highiy visible and
are used for both pedestrian access and veliicular access, rear anci side
fa4ades that are visible from the public realm sl�ould eshibit sophisti-
cated levels of design and materials. Rear and side fa�ades of existing
buildings should be improved with design featttres atid qualin- materi-

to the alleys and side streets. Fntrj� doors, garage doors and windows
sliould be attractive and durable. �Y/here btuldings abut �ublic parl�ing
lots, the}' are strongly encouraged to have rear entrances in �ddiuon to
their principal street entrances. Rear facades may� look like the back of
a building, but still be pleasant and inviting.
Service facilities such as trash enclosures and mechanical eqLu�tnent
sliould be screened �vith enclosures and devices consistent witli the
building architecttire in form, material 1nd detail. Roofs and treilises

In r�sidcntial mi�ed-use developments, most open spacc sl�ould be
used t<� provide attractive amenities Eor residents, including interior
courtt'ards and perimeter landscaping. I3alconies and rooftop terraces
are encouraged. Commercial deeelopment should typically l�ave less
open space in order to inaintaui a direct pedestrian relauonship and
continuous storeEront streetscape. l;ntry alcoves, court��ards, and

l�igh rec��cled content inaterills. 'I'he follo�ving considerations should be
included in site and Uuilding design:
• Resilient, durable, sustainable materials and finishes.
• l�lesibility o�rer time, to allow for re-use and adaptation.
• C�primizc building orientation for heat gain, sliading, dayligliung,
and natural �-entilauon.
• Desi�i landsca�ing to create comfortable iiucro-climates and
reduce hcar island effects.
• Desi�n for easy redestrian, bicvcle, and transit access, and pro�•ide
on-site bicy�de parking.
• Maximize on-site stormwlter mana�ement throu�h landscaping
and permeable paeement.
• C)n flat roofs, utilize cool/white roofs to tnini�nize heat gain.
• Desi�n lighting, plumbing, and equipment Eor efhcient energy use.
• Create healthy- indoor environments.
• Pursue adaptive re-use of an existing building or portion of a
building as an alternative to demolition and rebuilding.
• t'se creativit�� and innovation to build more sustainable
environments. One csatnple is establishing gardens with edible
fruits, vegetahlcs or other plants as part of project open space, or
providing garden plots to residents for urban agriculture.
To reduce carbon footprint, ne�v projects are encouraged to follow

5.4.4 LANDSCAPE TREES
Tlie Cit�� of 13uclingame has a lon� lustor�� of proactive txce planting
and pro�er trce care. I�rom the late 1800's �vhen trees were planted
along rl Camino Real and I:aston Dri��e to the current dav I3urlingame
has enjoyed the man�� benetits trees provide to an urban area.
I3urliiigame's longtime cominitment to trees is evidenced by reco�ni-
tion as a"'1'ree Ciry L'S�1° for 30 consecutive }�ears. 1'lus is the longest
streak in the Counn•, Sth longest in tl�e 5tate and one of the longest in
the Country for receiving this a�vard.
In Do�vnto�vn Burlingaine, trees include stre�t trees lining side�valks
and road�vays (typically witl�in the public right-of-�vay), as �vell as txees
on private propert}' in settin�s such as landscaped setback areas, court-
yards, and roof �ardens.
Cllapter -l: Streetscapes & Open Space) provides �,niidance for street
trees within the public right-of-�va��. Landscape trees on prieate prop-
ern� liave equ;il icnportance as part of tlie "urban forest," in contrib-
uting em-ironmental and aesthetic benefits to downtown. Trees are
iinportant for tlieir beaury, shade and coolness, economic benefits, arid
role in reducing energv use, pollution, and noise.
'I'he City- of Burlingame has an Urb1n Porest �Zanagement P11n that
itidudes �olicies and management practices for both cit�' and private
trees. :�laintainin� esisting trees is a priorin�, and large trees on prieate
properri• are protected by City� Orditiance. �1n� tree witli a circumfer-
ence of -�8 inches or more when measured �-4 inches above the grotmd
is a"Protected Tree." 1� percnit is required to xemove or heavily prune
a protected tree.
Consistent �vith I3urlingame's st;�ttis as "'1'rec City� CS.1," ne�ti• projects
are required to incorporate trees into landscape and �ri��are o�en space

New Stormwater Control Requirements Effective 12/1/12
For Projects that Create and/or Replace 2,500 to 10,000 sq.ft. of ImPervious Surface
New stormwater requirements go into effect on December I, 2012, for the
following categories of development projects:
■ Projects that create and/or replace at least 2,500 square feet, but less than
10,000 square feet, of impervious surface;
■ Stand-alone single family home projects that create and/or replace 2,500
square feet or more of impervious surface.
These requirements are in the San Francisco Bay Region Municipal Regional
Stormwater Permit (MRP)� and are described below.
What Is an Impervious Surf�ce?
Ri«�off is direct�cl �o Icindscuping.
An impervious surface is a surface covering or pavement of a developed parcel of land that prevents the
land's natural ability to absorb and infiltrate rainfall. Impervious surfaces include, but are not limited to:
rooftops, walkways, patios, driveways, parking lots, storage areas, impervious concrete and asphalt, and any
other continuous watertight pavement or covering.
Does Pervious Paving Count as Impervious Surface?
Pervious paving, including pavers with renneable openings and seams, is not considered impervious if it is
underlain with pervious soil or pervious storage material, such as a gravel layer that is sized to hold 80
percent of the average annual runoff. (This is the volume of stormwater runoff specified in Provision C.3.d
of the MRP.) Guidance for calculating this amount of runoff is provided in Section 5.1 of the C.3 Technical
Guidance. See "For More Information", below, for information on downloading.
What Are the New Requirements?
Beginning December l, 2012, applicable projects must incorporate one ofthe follo�vin� site desi�n measures:
